*************** Well, besides the obligatory "Get a voice teacher" advice, here's one quick fix -- check the position of your microphone. If you have it cranked up so that you are craning your chin upwards to sing into it, you are going to put a lot of strain on your larynx (just try to talk that way and see how you sound). Make sure you aren't gulping for air (if you can hear your breath, there's some resistance). But you really need to learn how to breathe low and support the sound as best you can (without losing the vocal integrity of the style). And you need an ear to hear what you're doing amplified and unamplified to make sure you aren't hurting yourslelf. You only get one set of vocal cords in this life - take care of them.
